At CES 2019 Audio-Technica is exhibiting a number of new products including the ATH-M50xBT wireless studio monitor headphones, a new turntable lineup, the new top-of-the-line QuietPoint ATH-ANC900BT wireless noise-cancelling headphones and more.

The recently introduced ATH-M50xBT wireless over-ear headphones (SRP: US$199) bring Bluetooth wireless technology to the popular pro audio and consumer headphones, the ATH-M50x. The ATH-M50xBT utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 and is compatible with aptX and AAC codecs. Its internal battery provides up to 40 hours of wireless listening (the headphones can also be used in wired mode). Like all of Audio-Technica's new wireless headphones, the ATH-M50xBT is compatible with Audio-Technica's Connect smartphone app.

Audio-Technica is introducing a new turntable lineup, including professional home/DJ and wireless models and the company's first-ever turntable and headphones bundle, the AT-LP60XHP. Available in early 2019, all offer upgraded features, performance and styling and come with high-quality phono cartridges and built-in phono preamps (except the AT-LP140XP).

CES 2019 marks the debut of three audiophile headphones: the over-ear ATH-AP2000Ti, the new flagship in-ear ATH-CK2000Ti and the in-ear ATH-CM2000Ti. All feature a host of Audio-Technica's latest engineering technologies.

The ATH-AP2000Ti, ATH-CK2000Ti and ATH-CM2000Ti (SRP: US$1,250.00, US$750.00, US$400.00, available January 2019) employ driver diaphragms with a DLC coating and a Permendur magnetic circuit. All are Hi-Res Audio compatible and incorporate Audio-Technica's A2DC (Audio-Designed Detachable Coaxial) jack that can be used with standard or balanced audio cables.

The closed-back ATH-AP2000Ti features Audio-Technica's Core Mount Technology (CMT), which positions the driver's voice coil so that the acoustic space is balanced in both the front and the back of the driver, yielding superior midrange and high frequency reproduction. Audio-Technica's ATH-CK2000Ti is the company's finest in-ear model ever. It utilizes push-pull DLC drivers that face each other but are wired out of phase, which provides lower harmonic distortion, improved bass and better high-frequency response.
